copyranter on COILHOUSE: It's a visual wrong-off!

And Now He's Dead: "The Thug"

Since the 1960s, Silhouette SP-83A—unofficially known as The Thug—has been the only target employed for all NYPD cops sharpening their revolver skills on the shooting range. But the PC police are finally changing that. The two new targets are apparently a Mr. Clean lookalike and a faceless mummy-like creature. This is law enforcement progress, people. (link)

Habs fan in NYC.

For the couple of you who are NHL fans, I'm 20 posts into my blog following the Montreal Canadiens centennial season; a season in which they are of course destined for bitter failure. Besides good/bad ads, ice hockey is the only other thing I can write about with pretend authority. (link)

copyranter on ANIMAL NY: the stupidest commercial ever?

There are no free rides.

New York City escort service uses Metrocard template to make business cards. They get dropped on buses and subway trains. More effective than a multi-million dollar, multimedia ad campaign. (via newyorkshitty)
